Washington, DC -- December 9, 2008
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton issued the following statement today in response to the arrest of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich:
###
"There has been an air of lawlessness around Governor Blagojevich for some time and Judicial Watch applauds U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald for his actions.
"Blagojevich's corruption is no surprise, but its breadth and depravity is shocking. The alleged efforts to sell the Senate seat of Barack Obama are outrageous, but also seem to implicate many other powerful politicians and political players. Especially disturbing are the questions the scandal raises about Barack Obama and his close associates.
"This is a burgeoning crisis for Obama that should shake his presidency to its core.
"The criminal complaint filed today indicates that Obama and his team knew about Blagojevich's efforts to sell Obama's Senate seat. ("Tony" Rezko, Obama friend, fundraiser and real estate partner, is once again implicated in the corrupt activities exposed today.)
"Did Obama report Blagojevich to investigators about any efforts to sell his Senate seat?"
Judicial Watch has been investigating Rod Blagojevich for over two years and has ongoing open records litigation concerning the sale of government jobs for which he was arrested today. Blagojevich has stonewalled and refused to turn over documents to Judicial Watch that could have alerted the American people to his corruption.
Can you say ‘’un indicted co-conspitator’’ 2 times before 1-20-09? Can you say WHOOPEE? Will Billy Graham lie for him, with his hand on the Bible? Will Larry King toss soft-balls.
By the date of the coronation Big-O will be trading the White House for the Big House.
I believe you are so right, jersey.
Obama will fire Fitzgerald on his first day in office. Just like Nixon thought he could fix the problem by firing Archibald Cox.
And who said that FReepers have only gloom & doom to look forward to after November 4th?
Obama is shaking his head and going “Holy rattling H***, I thought we had this s*** wrapped up!!”
Zero must really be the Messiah, because he has performed the miracle of me having a favorable (vs. zero) opinion of Hilda.
bttt
This is what it said inside the article —
“This is a burgeoning crisis for Obama that should shake his presidency to its core.”
—
Note the *should*.... LOL...
The title of the article left that out and is — therefore — misleading...
I doubt that the arrest shakes the Obama Presidency to the core... :-) I mean, you can’t even get the guy to prove he’s eligible for the Presidency and you expect this arrest to bother him... LOL...
While the election is over, could this be a December Surprise that could keep the Zero from being sworn in? Well we can dream can’t we.
Ya think?
Speaking as someone who actually contributed to JW ... albeit back in the Clinton era ... I can tell you in no uncertain terms JW ... if they are involved in any way, manner, shape, or form ... it's a loser. Trust me ... I've been there.
Compared to Zero - correct!
I wonder what Obama’s cut was?
Yes, the reporter I heard on CNN kept “emphasizing” that Obama “has nothing to do with this.”
How does HE know?.....
Put “R” after this governor’s name, and such dismissive remarks would NEVER occur
CNN is a "value-added" news source. They don't simply report the facts, they actually make them up.
I made that mistake when JW first arrived on the scene as well...
They were like a virus! You couldn't get rid of them! They must have spent a hundred dollar bill trying to get me to send more money...
I still have some of the envelopes they sent with penny, and nickle stamps they plastered all over them to make it look "Important"!
Did they send you the one's with the dollar bills included? LOL! What a scam they were!
JW knows hyperbole, don't they!
